NEWS – I have one roll of tape that has a dispenser handle, but most of the tape in my house is just plain rolls. That means I have to search (and search) for the end of the roll of painter’s tape or electrical tape every time I want to use it. Also, I need …

Video editing and photo editing can become a strain on your eyes, especially when working with a smaller monitor. The bigger the monitor, the easier it is to see all of the small details. In addition, I am usually multitasking, and I work with three monitors, with applications open on each one. I am beginning …

I don’t have room in my home for a full-size desk so when I’m writing for the Gadgeteer I usually end up working at my kitchen table, or in my recliner. Neither one is optimal. After about an hour or so my back, neck, and legs need a break. Then I was offered the chance to …

Standing Desks are everywhere nowadays. So, once you’re no longer seated, what do you use to keep your feet occupied and in motion while you’re just standing there?

When Lioe design reached out to see if I would like to review the Lioe Titan business card holder they asked if I would also be interested in reviewing the Phantom S420 scissors.

If you work in a corporate setting, you know what it’s like to attend meetings where some invitees opt to call into the meeting instead of attending in person. Speakerphones can often be confusing to use or just not work at all. Pioneer and Onkyo have introduced a pocket-sized solution that will allow you to …

Throughout most of recorded history, a pointed staff has been the preferred method of directing an audience’s attention towards an item displayed during a presentation. A significant advancement came in the 1980’s with the advent of the laser pointer, which allowed presenters to identify specific items on large screens from great distances. These days, in …

You’ve probably heard the quote from poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said: “Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door”. That quote made me think about everyday objects that I use and how they can be improved. Take Post-it notes for example. I have a pad of them on …

That’s desk top and not desktop. As in the top of your desk and not your computer’s home screen. Now that we’re on the same page, let’s get back to the news… Pad & Quill is celebrating 7 years in business by offering 25% off their some of their most popular products.

Spring is here! The flowers are budding and the birds are singing. Unfortunately its also tax season, and time to clean out that mountain of forms, papers and receipts you have been hoarding all winter long!
